Question 1: How does Evelyn hear music?
Answer: Evelyn
hears music through different parts of her body. Ron Forbes asked her to try to
sense the music some other way instead of ears. He started by tuning two big
drums to varied notes.
Evelyn realized that she could feel the higher drum
from her waist up and the lower drum from her waist down. Forbes kept repeating
the same exercise and then Evelyn realized that she can sense certain notes in
different parts of her body.
She says that when she plays the xylophone, she
could feel the music passing up the stick into her fingertips. When she leans
against the drums, she could sense the resonances flowing into her body. When
she performs on a wooden platform, she removes her footwear so that the
vibrations pass through her bare feet and up her legs.
